4chan

4Chan is an anonymous image board site that was founded in 2003. The site works by having someone post an image, while others reply to it and start a discussion. Overtime, 4Chan has become one of the most hateful sites on the internet.

Why it’s Cringe:

 * 4Chan is often considered to be misogynistic. Due to the many discussions that go on.


 * People have admitted tomurder, distributed child porn, admitted to planning commit suicide, and even had at one point mocked murder victim Bianica Devins.
 * Pridefall, which is a hate group dedicated to hating and harassing the LGBTQ+ community, originated on 4Chan.
 * Due to the sheer controversy surrounding the site and its members, multiple petitions have been made to shut down the site.
 * The amount of trolls on 4chan is outstanding.

Impact:
4Chan left behind a somewhat negative impact, with one person saying on a petition, “Of course I want a place where hateful losers gather to spread hate to disappear.” While others have said, “At least 4Chan can be fun, while Reddit is just a bore.”

It seems that more people hate this forum then like it, I am personally one of those haters.

Overall, 4Chan could have been a respected community, if they hadn't become extremely hateful.
